Traveling an area with supposed highest service for 4G LTE on the map I had spotty coverage and a 30 mile stretch with no coverage at all. Traveling from Columbus GA to Albany Ga on US 520/280. map shows full 4g LTE coverage the entire way but that definitely is not the case. After passing Richland the coverage dropped with only a small amount of roaming coverage in Dawson and then full coverage once I hit Albany Ga. Did I miss something? MOTO G3 which is up to date, 4G LTE phone plan, fully charged and plugged in while traveling. It shouldn’t have lost complete signal if I’m not roaming off our network so can someone help?

The “main” map is, IMHO, fairly useless. It does not differentiate by which carrier your phone is connected to. The Moto G3 is connected to Sprint, so I provided a link to the coverage for that specific carrier.

Like I stated that the GSM map and only good for 3.0 phones on the GSM network (legacy phones are on the CDMA network partner (Sprint)) and needs to use Coverage Check | Republic Wireless map {https://republicwireless.com/tools/coverage-map-cdma/ }

So actually the map that’s at the link depends on the ZIP code you enter here: 4G LTE + WiFi for the Best Cell Phone Coverage | Republic Wireless. If the ZIP code would result in your getting a GSM phone, it shows the GSM map. If the ZIP code would result in your getting a CDMA configured phone, it shows the CDMA map. Of course for legacy customers, that can be very confusing.

I appreciate the input from you both (drm186/louisdi) it looks like I may need a new phone to get the coverage I require. Or a new carrier if I can’t get the service I need. The map is very misleading and I am disappointed that this is the case but what can one do?
